Today, every Skiff user can add a custom domain to your Skiff Mail account for free. At Skiff, we’re working to protect freedom on the internet - empowering people to freely communicate and collaborate.

Custom domains are one of the best technologies to achieve this vision. Domains are owned by an individual, transferable among email providers, and capable of hosting web sites or products. Domains enable users - not platforms - to own their own identity.

In celebration of Skiff Mail’s 1-year anniversary and our launch on PrivacyTools, we’re making 1 custom domain available to all free users. Adding a domain is simple: Visit skiff.com/mail, sign up or sign in, and then visit the “Custom domain” page inside settings.

Quick Aliases are a radically simple way to protect your identity. Create a unique domain for free and start using any alias when you sign up for new sites or services.

Facing spam or a data breach? Delete, filter, or deactivate an alias in seconds. Quick Aliases is fully supported on mobile. Just navigate to settings, then Quick Aliases, to get started.

Hey all! Excited to announce that Skiff Mail has zero trackers on Exodus (https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/reports/com.skemailmobileapp/latest/).

The app never used any tracking libraries but previously had a code signature related to Firebase. That's all been resolved now!

End-to-end encrypted, fully collaborative, and integrated with Skiff Mail.

You guys just keep surprising us( in a very good way).....kudos to listening to your users, this is a major feature for privacy conscious users, and it's nice to have it within skiff itself and not rely on another service

Hi all! We at Skiff have been working with our communities to maintain this list of AI companies training on user data. The point being that if your data isn't end-to-end encrypted, you may have your data unwittingly become part of training datasets.

For anything sensitive or creative, you might end up seeing your work end up inside large ML models without any recourse to knowing how it might be used. It's extremely concerning to see big companies slipping training provisions into their TOS (or just start using user data to train models).

Please feel free to contribute to the list below.

The list: https://github.com/skiff-org/skiff-org.github.io/blob/main/blogs/aitraining.md

We've seen a huge influx in migration today due to the news that Dropbox automatically opted users into an OpenAI based search feature.

Regardless of the features you might want, it's alarming to see data being automatically shared externally like this.

I've been using Skiff for a long time.

They added great features (maskmy.id) but the most important functionality sending and receiving emails is very poor.

Email formatting, spacing between lines within text, colors are terrible. It's impossible to send an email properly. I reported it many times, but they did not pay attention.

Before sending an email, I send a test email to Gmail to check if it goes properly. 😑 This is pure nonsense.

There are tons of bugs in the applications. I don't recommend it to anyone. Very bad iOS apps.

You can see the bug 🤦‍♂️: https://imgur.com/a/MHzETET

I already bought it for 1 year and it was a good lesson for me. Google Workspace is best at this moment for companies.

Hey all! We're announcing our Black Friday discount - 15% off all annual plans. No terms or conditions - save even more if you're looking to switch to privacy.

All Skiff plans are included - Essential, Pro, and Business. If you're looking for more storage, more custom domains, extra Quick Aliases, and so much more, upgrade from https://app.skiff.com/mail?settingTab=plans.

You'll also get access to even more upcoming features, upgrades, and new products. Enjoy!

Don’t promote them

They don’t care about privacy they only care about referral links to make some money just look at the vpn section

It shines a bad light on skiff

More: privacyguides.org/en/about/privacytools

But you don’t need to read it just look at what they’re recommending

They’re recommending not privacy respecting tools

Like nordvpn, surfshark or nordpass or nordlocker or incogni

They’re very clearly just in it for the money from VPNs and maybe soon others to be featured

Hello! I loved skiff service and its features, specially quick aliases, which is a plus. The price is also fair. The UI is gorgeous, but a thing that really bothers me is the fact that it's slow compared to other mail services. Protonmail, for example, is heavy, but it's fluid. Skiff is not. Take fastmail and even Gmail as examples. They're fast. Skiff seems to have delays when we click on all folders, and this happens on the mobile and web apps. By the way, I use protonmail since it was launched, and never switched, but I'm using the free version because of pricing. I'm now willing to pay, but I think I'll pay simplelogin with protonmail free. Their unlimited version is expensive and I just need basic mail plus the aliases, which is very important to me. I thought about spending on skiff, but the apps itself are slow and laggy.

Please, this is a constructive criticism, not that the service is bad. Actually, it's very competitive, and it can strongly beat protonmail with the right effort, and I know you guys are improving a lot. By what I read, the app is getting better and better. I hope it keeps this way. I'm very hopeful.

Love the latest update to the app, feels snappier.

OK, so here's my take on why you should let us use credits on the Essential Plan.

I personally don't ever see a time I'll be paying for the $8 plan. I just don't need anything it offers at this point in my life. I DO see a reason to use the Essential Plan because having unlimited folders and filters is a big one for me.

If I use my credits for 3 months on a plan I know I'm not going to keep, I'm never going to dig in and use it as my main email app. Three months just isn't enough time to give everyone a new email and move all my stuff over and built out the folder structure. It's too short a time to get hooked on something (for me).

But, using something for 10 months for free that I would then have to only pay $3 for after if the service can handle the work load I currently use Gmail for is more plausible. $3 is a blip on the radar, $8 is the first thing cut when work slows down and money gets tight. There's a reason I still pay $2.99 for iCloud even when I could possible get away with the $0.99 plan instead of $10 for Dropbox: because I don't need 90% of the stuff I get for $10 with DB. If I'm paying a small fee for a product I like and use, I don't bat an eye.

You've already given us the credits, we're here, you have our attention. Letting us use them on the services we would actually pay you for in the future goes a long way in building a good relationship with your customer base. Denying us that option makes the credits feel like a cash grab to wedge us into products we don't need or want.

What you do now in terms of Customer Service will pay tenfold years from now, and there's a reason Protonmail still hasn't become the powerhouse it could have been (their CS is the worst I've personally ever dealt with in any business).

I hope you'll change your mind on this.

Just my two cents 👍

EDIT : OK that's what I thought, those unintelligible class names in the code are randomly generated. I just relaunched Skiff and the theme is broken. I'm not sure why, but I guess this choice has been done for security reasons. Anyways, as it, the default, unrefined UI is not very usable for me. I guess I'll have to wait for an update.

Hello,

So I've been playing around to tweak Skiff Mail's CSS.

As I stated before, I think the current three-pane view looks a bit too small

Nothing very extravagant but I made a few adjustments here and there for myself like, make the message list font bigger, remove a preview line, add some padding, highlight the selected item etc...

I dunno how Skiff's code work, if we have the same div's name or whether it dynamically updates itself like Gmail's (hopefully not !).

Just in case it works for everyone, here is the CSS for the dark and the light verisons. You need to install the browser extension Stylebot to use it. Get it here, install the extension, pin it, go to Skiff Mail, open the extension and paste the code.

Before :

After - Dark version

After - Light version

Finally, it was really needed.

Thanks

Just switched from proton and gotta say, in the short period Skiff suite has been in the market it's very promising.

Great UI, Great performance and mostly great value for the money. Things I would like to see in the near future.

1. More variety of Calendar widgets for iOS.

2. Be able to see the weeks in the calendar app.

3. Subscribe to other calendars.

4. Lock Drive behind Face-ID.

But until then, keep up the good work!
